Objective:To further improve the understanding of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), we retrospectively analyzed and summarized the clinical characteristics, treatment status, and survival status of patients with PNH in Zhejiang Province.Methods:This study included 289 patients with PNH who visited 20 hospitals in Zhejiang Province. Their clinical characteristics, comorbidity, laboratory test results, and medications were analyzed and summarized.Results:Among the 289 patients with PNH, 148 males and 141 females, with a median onset age of 45 (16-87) years and a peak onset age of 20-49 years (57.8% ). The median lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level was 1 142 (604-1 925) U/L. Classified by type, 70.9% (166/234) were classical, 24.4% (57/234) were PNH/bone marrow failure (BMF), and 4.7% (11/234) were subclinical. The main clinical manifestations included fatigue or weakness (80.8%, 235/289), dizziness (73.4%, 212/289), darkened urine color (66.2%, 179/272), and jaundice (46.2%, 126/270). Common comorbidities were hemoglobinuria (58.7% ), renal dysfunction (17.6% ), and thrombosis (15.0% ). Moreover, 82.3% of the patients received glucocorticoid therapy, 70.9% required blood transfusion, 30.7% used immunosuppressive agents, 13.8% received anticoagulant therapy, and 6.3% received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The 10-year overall survival (OS) rate was 84.4% (95% CI 78.0% -91.3% ) . Conclusion:Patients with PNH are more common in young and middle-aged people, with a similar incidence rate between men and women. Common clinical manifestations include fatigue, hemoglobinuria, jaundice, renal dysfunction, and recurrent thrombosis. The 10-year OS of this group is similar to reports from other centers in China.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agents (HMA) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:A total of 409 MDS patients from 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province who received at least four consecutive cycles of HMA monotherapy as initial therapy were enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA. Mann-Whitney U or Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in the clinical data. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and survival. Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. Results:Patients received HMA treatment for a median of 6 cycles (range, 4-25 cycles) . The complete remission (CR) rate was 33.98% and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.02%. Multivariate analysis revealed that complex karyotype ( P=0.02, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84) was an independent favorable factor for CR rate. TP53 mutation ( P=0.02, OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.77) was a predictive factor for a higher ORR. The median OS for the HMA-treated patients was 25.67 (95% CI 21.14-30.19) months. HMA response ( P=0.036, HR=0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.95) was an independent favorable prognostic factor, whereas complex karyotype ( P=0.024, HR=2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15) , leukemia transformation ( P<0.001, HR=2.839, 95% CI 1.64-4.92) , and TP53 mutation ( P=0.012, HR=2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.07) were independent adverse prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in efficacy and survival between the reduced and standard doses of HMA. The CR rate and ORR of MDS patients treated with decitabine and azacitidine were not significantly different. The median OS of patients treated with decitabine was longer compared with that of patients treated with azacitidine (29.53 months vs 20.17 months, P=0.007) . The incidence of bone marrow suppression and pneumonia in the decitabine group was higher compared with that in the azacitidine group. Conclusion:Continuous and regular use of appropriate doses of hypomethylating agents may benefit MDS patients to the greatest extent if it is tolerated.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of hospice self-efficacy among clinical nurses between sense of life meaning and hospice behavior, in order to provide references for nursing managers to formulate strategies to improve clinical nurses′ hospice behavior.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey study. The clinical nurses were selected from 8 tertiary hospitals in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region by convenience sampling method from July to November in 2023. General data survey scale, The Meaning in Life Questionnaire, End-of-life Care Self-efficacy Scale and Hospice Behavior Scale were used to investigate. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation between variables, and AMOS 24.0 software was used to analyze the mediating effect of hospice self-efficacy on nurses′ sense of meaning of life and hospice behavior.Results:The effective response rate of the questionnaire was 89.82%(988/1 100). There were 41 males and 947 females, aged (32.95 ± 5.61) years old. The scores of sense of life meaning, end-stage hospice self-efficacy and hospice behavior of clinical nurses were (45.18 ± 7.90), (49.62 ± 10.93), (123.42 ± 28.55) points, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the sense of life meaning, hospice behavior and end-stage hospice self-efficacy of clinical nurses were correlated ( r values were 0.263-0.932, all P<0.01). The terminal hospice self-efficacy had a partial mediating effect between clinical nurses′ sense of life meaning and hospice behavior.The total effect of the sense of life meaning on clinical nurses′ hospice care behavior was 0.435, in which the direct effect was 0.246, accounting for 56.55% of the total effect, the indirect effect was 0.190, accounting for 43.45% of the total effect. Conclusions:End-stage hospice self-efficacy of clinical nurses is the mediating variable between sense of life meaning and hospice behavior. Managers can improve hospice behavior by cultivating end-stage hospice self-efficacy of clinical nurses.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for improving the rational use of antimicrobial drugs in primary township medical institutions. METHODS Based on the county prescription pre-review center, a team led by anti-infective clinical pharmacists constructed the management mode for the use of antimicrobial drugs in county-level medical communities with clinical pharmacists as the main team by finding out the main problems in the use of antimicrobial drugs in primary township medical institutions, providing feedback on the problems, organizing relevant training for the problems, improving the customization rules of the prescription pre-review software, implementing the automatic interception and pharmacist online prescription review and other measures. Data on the use of antimicrobial drugs were collected and compared in the 15 primary township medical institutions between January-June in 2022 (before the implementation of the mode) and January-June in 2023 (after the implementation of the mode). RESULTS Compared with before the implementation of the mode, the utilization rate of antimicrobial drugs in outpatients of primary township medical institutions decreased from 24.97% before the implementation of the mode to 19.39% after the implementation of the mode; the utilization rate of antimicrobial injection in outpatients decreased from 66.10% to 46.80%; the utilization rate of intravenous drip of antimicrobial drugs in outpatients decreased from 52.33% to 40.35%; the rates of combined use of antimicrobial drugs in outpatients decreased from 12.70% to 8.19%; the reasonable rate of antimicrobial prescribing in outpatients increased from 55.28% to 73.93%. After the implementation of the mode, the proportion of antimicrobial prescriptions for each diagnosis was basically the same as before; the defined daily dose system (DDDs) and proportion of a few antimicrobial drugs changed compared with before according to the anatomical therapeutic chemical classification of drugs, among which DDDs of lincomycin, gentamicin and other drugs declined significantly; DDDs of antimicrobial drugs for each classification was basically the same as before according to AWaRe classification. CONCLUSIONS The management mode of the use of antimicrobial drugs led by anti-infective clinical pharmacists is constructed in the prescription pre-reviewing center of county-level medical communities, which can effectively improve the rational use of antimicrobial drugs in the primary township medical institutions.

9.Association between preschoolers physical activity levels and parental sports concept and behavior
Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(7):1036-1039
Objective:
To analyze the impact of parental sports concept and behavior on physical activity in preschool children, so as to provide a foundation for future guidance on fostering childrens physical activity within the family context.
Methods:
From November to December 2020, a clustered convenience sampling method was employed to conduct surveys, and a total of 283 children were selectal from one kindergarten each in Beijing, Shenyang, and Xian. Participating children wore ActiGraph GT9X accelerometers continuously for one week to collect data on different intensity levels of physical activity. Physical Activity afterschool Questionnaire for Preschooler (P-PAQ) was utilized to assess parental sports concept and behavior. The gender differences in physical activity level and physical activity compliance rate were analyzed by using ttest, Mann-Whitney U test, and Chisquare test; and the relationship between parental exercise concepts and behaviors and physical activity of preschool children was analyzed using Spearman rank correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.
Results:
Parental sports concept was significantly positively correlated with average daily moderatetovigorous physical activity (MVPA) and total physical activity (TPA) in children (r=0.12-0.16, P<0.05). Parental sports behavior was significantly positively correlated with childrens average daily TPA (r=0.25, P<0.05). Multiple linear regression revealed that parental sports concept was positively correlated with average daily MVPA and TPA in both boys and girls (B=0.65-0.83), while parental sports behavior only was positively correlated with boys average daily MVPA and TPA (B=0.24-0.25)(P<0.05).
Conclusions
Parental sports concept and behavior can impact physical activity levels in preschool children, exhibiting gender differences. Future guidance on physical activity in family upbringing should consider both parental sports concept and behavior, and pay attention to the influence of childrens gender.

OBJECTIVE To know about the working mode and human resource status of pharmacy intravenous admixture services (PIVAS) in national medical institutions. METHODS Through questionnaire survey, the national PIVAS was invited to fill out questionnaire and statistical analysis was performed on the effective sample data related to PIVAS working mode and human resources in the questionnaire. RESULTS In this study, 761 PIVAS from 722 medical institutions of 29 provinces were involved in the questionnaire survey, with 471 valid questionnaires for working mode and 441 valid questionnaires for human resources survey. In terms of working mode, among 471 PIVAS, 292 PIVAS (62.0%) were in pharmacist-alone mode, and 176 PIVAS (37.4%) were in pharmacist-nurse cooperative mode; there was no significant difference in the types of medical orders received by PIVAS between these two working modes except for the other medical orders (P>0.05). In terms of human resource setting, among 441 PIVAS, the average number of total staff of single PIVAS was 24(16,33), including 11(6,19) pharmacists, 7(2,13) nursing staff, and 3(1,5) workers; there was a statistically significant difference in the number of personnel among three groups (P< 0.01). The per capita income of PIVAS respondents in 2019 was [7.9(4.8,10.7)]×104 yuan, and in 2021 it was [8.8(5.8,11.7)]× 104 yuan, with an increase of 9.0% compared to 2019. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P< 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Medical institutions’ PIVAS in China had not fully implemented the pharmacist-alone work model, and some medical institutions had chosen a pharmacist-nurse cooperative mode. It is suggested that relevant departments formulate corresponding qualification requirements and training standards for nursing personnel as soon as possible based on sufficient research on PIVAS’s demand for nursing professionals.
